Andy Kidd - Guestmix for 'Balearia' Show  - Ibiza Sonica, Feb 2017

Dedication is the collaborative result of Felix Dickinson and Mikey Yamada, some talented Japanese musicians and Western vocalists. You may already have heard the name since we featured their track "Let Me Rock You" in our top 100 tracks of 2015. After EPs released via Cynic, DFA and Claremont 56, their new delivery is out on a brand new label from London, Adventures in Paradise, and it doesn't disappoint. If you're into tactile, groovy emotion, and deep disco brilliance, then this is for you !

PREMIERE : Dedication Feat. Danielle Moore - Show Me Love (Instrumental)

Venezuelan extraordinaire producer Trujillo is back with a new set of sun-injected future nostalgia cuts on Apersonal Music. Street soul and Trip-Hop atmospheres deliciously blended together transports you back to a remote paradisiac beach in the heart of the Venezuelan caribbean coast. Both tracks feature the seductive voice of Colombian Paulo Olarte and a very exclusive appearance from tropical disco maestro Daniel Grau in "Hola Como Estas" on the piano. To complete the journey the flip side runs through the exquisite balearic tool mix of "Everytime I Think Of U" by Norwegian producer Telephones, feeling hypnotic and sophisticated. El Caribe te lo da!

Afterlife - Espalmador (Joe Morris Remix)

Blue Feather - After Midnight (Andy Kidd 12" Mix)

Project Sound is the follow up to last year’s Project Fear compilation and keeps it global with the freshest house music originating from South Africa to Norway and the USA to dear old Blighty.

There are new artists to the label like Tumisang Pooe, Mark Zowie, Erik Skantze, A Band Called Oh and Mr Tea as well as more familiar names like Flash Atkins, Fingerman, Daco, Jonny Miller, Mental Overdrive, Ryan Kick, Leca, 2 Billion Beats, Kimo and Rave-enka as part of Nattmat. Tracks cover the deeper side of house but all pack punch and sealed with the Paper stamp of approval.

Sean Johnston (ALFOS) - Really like Kimo Trance and Zowie you know!

Mark Farina - nice comp.

Pete Herbert - Quality tackle ..Erik Skantze and Kimo my favs.

Fingerman - Great variety on this!

Pathaan - S U P E R B !

James Rod - BIG SUPPORT!

Fernando - Couple great tracks here. Rainbows is my favourite.

Aldrin Zouk (Zouk) - Nice package! Especially diggin' I.R.S.A.N.S, Twenty Sixteen, Nakenbad. Thanks!!

Flash Atkins - Drug Empire (Fingerman Mix) (96kbps)

Joe Claussell joined the MUSHROOM HOUSE series!

The New York City DJ and music originator made one of his rare remixes. For the Toy Tonics series. 
Claussell is a pioneer. Blending African and Brazilian rhythms with Disco and House since the early 1990ies. Inspiring the music world with his labels Spiritual Life Music and Ibadan records and with his legendary Body & Soul parties that he run for 6 years with Francois K and Danny Krivit in NYC. 
For Toy Tonics he remixed an obscure afro funk song by German Afro - Kraut Band Karl Hector & The Malcouns and Nicolas Tounga, singer from Burkina Faso. The original song was released on a limited 7“ on Now Again records/ L.A. in 2008. Sold out for a long time. Claussell’s remix is an amazing 11 minutes afrotechno jam. A great journey though styles.

Also on this EP: Night Masquerade by Vito & Druzzi. Again: NYC guys. You might know the boys also for being part of The Rapture/ DFA. Since a few years they produce electronic music under the name of Vito & Druzzi. Part of New York’s Throne of Blood crew. Some might remember their vocal contribution for Joakim’s Bring Your Love. On their track for Toy Tonics they go tribal. Somewhere between Steve Reich inspired Gamelan pattern, smooth flowing over a 4/4 beat top by a nasty, 1970ies Funk synth solo that turns the whole track into a new direction.

Third track is by Kapote, man behind Toy Tonics and owner of many great records with hot samples. His Besamo Fly is a 110 Bpm slow house jam - makes you think about Mexican beaches or Paris Filter House nights of the 1990ies..

We gave it to them straight: “Let us remix your song or weʼre taking all the meatballs.”

Having heard the baggy psychedelic beauty that is ʻRushing Through My Mindʼ on Lauren Laverneʼs 6Music show, we thought we could do a number on it. Turn it into a psychedelic disco record (with added meatballs). We think we managed it, reliving the rushy highs from indie-danceʼs finest moments of 1991.

For those of you unaware of the splendid Swedish rockersʼ groovy workings, they have already released two albums, debut Horse Dance in 2015 and last yearʼs excellent Mirage, from which the ecstatic ʻRushing...ʼ comes.

The release comes on Joe Bugner-style heavyweight vinyl (180g) complete with Instrumental and Radio Edit. Mang Dynasty is Ray Mang and Bill Brewster.

Josefin And The Liberation - Rushing Through My Mind - Mang Dynasty Extended Version

Nicola Conte & Gianluca Petrella feat. Bridgette Amofah - New World Shuffle (STW Premiere)

International Peoples Gang v Hot Toddy's `Slow-Motion Cowboy', a highlight of last year's `Amuse Bouche 2' compilation and Mixmag's 10/10 record of the month, gets a stand-alone, re-worked release in December on the Night Noise imprint. 

Coupled with sensational remixes from Hifi Sean (currently topping the Billboard charts with `Testify', his collaboration with Crystal Waters) and Balearic flag- waver Pete Herbert, the tune looks certain to set dancefloors alight all around the world. A pumping bassline, funky riffs and breathy vocals are paired with crisp beats to make for an irresistible mirror ball moment.

Slow Motion Cowboy (Hifi Sean Remix)

Rearranged and added a lot of instrumentation (including rhodes, piano and marimba, plus live drum loops/fills from Nathan Curran) for a more contemporary groove, most of which should be transparent and in keeping with the feel of the original track.

Black Frost (Andy Kidd Refunk!)

A debut single on @Neinrecords for @Black-Light-Smoke aka Jordan Lieb from the US, an Emmy Award winning composer/producer/musician. 

The 'Perfecto' EP features 3 quality originals and includes 2 killer remixes from @CabaretNocturne and Nein label boss Tronik Youth.

Our pick coming from Raphael de Savage (aka Cabaret Nocturne), the Belgian producer known for this fusions of ‘80s pop, dark basslines, and unhinged house beats since the mid-noughties. Who delivers a trademark dancefloor track with the perfect mixture of bass and melody.

Perfecto

PREMIERE - Black Light Smoke Feat. Leah Lazonick - Take Me Out (Cabaret Nocturne Remix)

I am quite sure there was a Young Marco record that went through 8 testpressings. This one wasn’t as bad but still quite frustrating but a good reminder why Skynet will always be more efficient than people! Some smartass on Discogs thinks this has been released in March already, so I guess we are only 9 months late. A proper baby even!! Don’t know how much I have to stress that Soulphiction is one of my biggest heros, a German guy who always nails the soulful sound of Chicago and Detroit like a robot himself. And his label Philpot has been a huge inspiration for Lumberjacks in Hell and Intimate Friends... parking lot Blues is finally real!!! And coming on Monday!!! I feel a lot of relief! Such a wonderful release and we were so excited for the whole time!! Glad to finally share it with you!! <3

Marcel Vogel’s Amsterdam based label Lumberjacks in Hell arises once again with something raw, soulful, and extremely fresh for your listening pleasure. This time, they’ve tapped the deeply prolific Bristol-based house connoisseur Andy Compton, who’s had a long and venerable career both as a soloist and part of the legendary trio of The Rurals, and who’s also released more than 31 albums and over 135 EPs. This project sees Andy join forces with the African artist Shamrock and the Swahili vocalist Asali for four sun-drenched boogie tracks that they recorded in South Africa.

“Nifanyeje,” the projects stand-out track is a slow groover with one hell of a bassline. Adding to the “smoothness” is what seems to be a suite of live instrumentation including organic percussion, gentle guitar, funky brass, light key stabs, and a gorgeous, airy vocal. A track like this demands you to chill. Don’t listen to this in the morning, you won’t get anything done for the rest of the day. If I didn’t have a job to do I’d roll a joint and listen to it 100 times. Anyways, just added this burner to my “Rosé Season” playlist on Spotify. Hand me my slips, fam.

Bunny Chow, the 31st EP from Lumberjacks in Hell, couldn’t be a better release. It drops on May 7th, and will likely soundtrack your summer. On May 7th, support the musicians who appear on this record by shelling out some cash for the wax. You won’t be sorry, and you might get laid if you play it.

LiH031 - Bunny Chow

PREMIERE : Andy Compton & Shamrock - Nifanyeje

Compiled by cratediggers Loud E & The Wild, Discophilia Beligica’ is released 16th November and is a collection of next-door-disco and local spacemusic from Belgium 1975-1987. The tracks on this delightfully obscure collection are from ordinary folk. Most have day jobs. Yet as musicians, they go as far out as possible in to the disco universe and back again. Not too serious or overambitious and definitely not overproduced. This is stripped down space music. This is next door disco.
